  1. who are you putting first? if it's anything other than god it's a sin.
  2. I doubt it would be 100% compatible as it's essence is not having any dedicated leader/ or dedicated government or Law and as being part of the covenant we are steeped in law and order.... however the concepts of self sufficiency and self governance that tend to get appended to anarchy are quite adoptable on an individual basis. freedom of agency is the freedom to choose who you are going to follow or who you will represent- who's name you will be taking upon you.
  3. ya it's all the other stuff that goes in with them that's the problem XD
  4. pumpkin bagels with pumpkin cream cheese spred. pumpkin pie, pumpkin smoothies.... wwhat's not to love? and the doc says i have to cut back on carbs :(
  5. invest in a barrier like they have in cop cars or some taxis? generally the wisdom is to not pick strangers up... but if you feel prompted to do otherwise go with the prompting.
  6. deleted; formatting got totally screwed. no idea how to convert it all into pure html to get into the guts. will do over later >.<
  7. this is a good question even if old, worth for others to see and seeing as its still on the front page here's my 2 cents- yes. we call them covenants as it is a two way oath. generally by saying yes or I do. and it is performed upon the priesthood. also making strong promises in other areas of life to other things should also be taken very seriously as it involves honesty, honor and integrity.
  8. nothing says what process God sent the dust through to form man.... which leaves a lot of room for intrepretation. uplift, mimicry or paralellism, and patterning are few possible options. also take dates on both sides of the fence with a good size chunk of salt.
  9. why? one word; love. How do you see Christ's relationship to the Father? For even as Christ is to the Father, we can be unto Christ.
  10. zombie reply time but i couldn't resist. the earth going to warp speed.
  11. ? scheduling is not exempt from morality. if the dismissal of mormon ethics and morality is justifiable for a situation then how much better is it when ethics and morality is kept for that situation?
  12. counsel as in advice? technically no. however real life tends to make their counsel wise when looking back after having gotten pounded into the ground by life after having ignored the counsel. also when one gets into the habit of going against the counsel it becomes a lot easier to fall into sin.
  13. tell em while they live your house they abide by your rules... including standards of dress. once they move out then it's pretty much limited to strong advice and love.
  14. altho i have to say one of the best pizzas i ever had was a cheese pizza.
  15. short answer is yes and yes. long answer: the resurrection started with the resurrection of jesus christ, and if god requires a person to be resurrected before the second coming they can be.... however for the grand majority of the human race the resurrection begins at the at the second coming of christ, with those who are judged as righteus to be resurrected at the beginning of the 1000 year reign of christ, and for those who die during that reign to be changed "in the twinkling of an eye" to quote scripture. at the end of the reign will the rest be resurrected and judged with those who've completely rejected god to be resurrected and judged lastly and then sent to their final state and place. All will be resurrected including the wicked to be followed by a final judgement.
  16. to the OP. Depends: bad trends should be, good ones less so.
  17. the same thing that goes through my mind when i have to be in someone's special presence; "--- they could use a bath" ya i'd have a problem; i have hard time with strong odors in general.
  18. cause thats what the leaders were inspired to implement. probably because it was the quickest way to protect us from harm of the substances and/or the predations of those who peddle it at the time.... however they have yet to take it off the list. as for coke, like a lot of other things- that depends.
  19. ya he's being a bit too gung-ho. let your home teachers know, or barring that let the bishop know. And ya that's something the younger folks should handle.
  20. i think most if not all continents will have hidden records. christ was pretty active throughout the world after the resurrection.
  21. go throught the scriptures and see how many of the miracles could be performed if one could manipulate gravity. Scriptures give me hope for such.
